This poem "Too Lazy to be Ambitious" was written by Taigu Ryōkan, a Japanese Zen Buddhist monk. (1758-1831). He is known for his simple, nature-inspired poetry and his artistic calligraphy. He lived much of his life as a hermit, wandering and begging for sustenance. He was deeply admired for his kindness and humility. He referred to himself as "Great Fool," a title that reflected his rejection of the cultural elite and his focus on a simple, direct path to enlightenment.

Among other themes, the Bhagavad Gita teaches the impermanence of the physical world. I must admit that I struggle reading the Bhagavad Gita, but sometimes I get struck by a sentence here and there, like this line "The warriors, arrayed in hostile armies facing each other, shall not live, whether you strike or stay your hand". We will all be dead in 100 years. For me, statisically I have another 35. This human life is such a small scratch in the continuum of existence. Sometimes contemplating that theme helps me release the desire to be right and just marinade in the deliciousness of being present in this moment.

I found watercress on my walk today. This leafy green was an important source of nutrients for people that depended on foraging and hunting for sustenance as it can grow even in the winter if there is a stream of running water. The first photo is of my watercress and butter sandwich!
